mornings in the garden

our vegie garden is undergoing a bit of a makeover as we move from four smallish garden beds to six big ones! It has been so nice growing our own fruit, vegies and herbs this last year but we have still been getting the majority of our fresh produce from the farmers markets or woolies (eek). Over the next season we are hoping to get the majority of our fruit and vegies from our garden and supplement what we can't grow from the markets. we still have a LONG way to go but my hope eventually is that we will have enough for our plates, enough to can/store/freeze/preserve and some to share with neighbours and family!

lately, because of the crazy daytime heat, we have been gardening in the morning. when the weather is nice, the morning sun helps to wake me up and the puppy sits outside the fence and waits for us. this morning the tomatoes were mulched, our compost bin was growing things, the morning coffee was enjoyed in the garden, a few prayers were said for the raspberries and the last of the old tomatoes and spinach were picked for ripening and eating.

5.30 in the morning has never looked so good...
